Braves swept out of town by Nats' relentless pitching attack

Braves swept out of town by Nats' relentless pitching attack
The Nationals' starting rotation seems to be settling into a groove, which has to be a scary thought for the rest of the National League. Doug Fister was the latest to spin a gem, as the Nationals shut out the Braves 7-0 and earn a sweep of the three-game series. Fister blanked Atlanta for seven innings, helping the Nationals set a new franchise record of 41 1/3 consecutive scoreless innings for the starting pitchers. The streak began in the second inning of rookie Joe Ross' start on Friday,...

Fister, Nats sweep Braves with 7-0 shutout

Fister, Nats sweep Braves with 7-0 shutout
Denard Span roped a single to right to start the game and when Nick Markakis muffed the ball, Span took second. For Markakis, the gaffe broke a 398-game errorless streak, the longest by an outfielder in Major League Baseball history. Span advanced to third on Danny Espinosa's sacrifice bunt and then scored easily on Yunel Escobar's groundout to second. Doug Fister has given up one hit with one strikeout through two innings. Update: Wilson Ramos ripped a leadoff double to left-center field in...

Williams insists it's just a day off for Harper and Rendon

Williams insists it's just a day off for Harper and Rendon
The Nationals will face the Braves in this afternoon's series finale without right fielder Bryce Harper and second baseman Anthony Rendon. Harper pulled up limp after mashing a one-out double in the 11th inning last night. Nationals manager Matt Williams and head athletic trainer Lee Kuntz went out to check on Harper, who told them his right leg cramped up. Harper convinced Williams he was good enough to remain in the game and score the game-winning run - which he did moments later on Ian...

Harper, Rendon missing from Nats lineup for Braves finale (updated)

Harper, Rendon missing from Nats lineup for Braves finale (updated)
If the Nationals are going to complete their sweep of the Braves, they'll have to do so without right fielder Bryce Harper and second baseman Anthony Rendon, both of whom are out of today's starting lineup. No official word yet on what's up with either Harper or Rendon. Harper appeared to be in some discomfort when he reached second base on his 11th-inning leadoff double in last night's extra-inning win, but waved off manager Matt Williams and head athletic training Lee Kuntz, who came out...

Jordan Zimmermann latest Nats starter to go scoreless

Jordan Zimmermann latest Nats starter to go scoreless
Entering this year, the Nationals were expected to cruise through the regular season and into October on the shoulders of their imposing starting rotation. But injuries to right-handers Doug Fister and Stephen Strasburg and inconsistent pitching from lefty Gio Gonzalez interfered with the expected success that most assumed would simply be a foregone conclusion. Even Jordan Zimmermann ran into a rut, losing his previous three starts coming into last night, with an ERA of 7.63 over the...

An emotional Ian Desmond provides walk-off win

An emotional Ian Desmond provides walk-off win
On an emotional night, Ian Desmond delivered a walk-off sacrifice fly in the bottom of the 11th inning, scoring Bryce Harper to give the Nationals their fifth straight win in a 2-1 triumph over the Braves. It's been a season full of ups and downs for Desmond, who is likely to be playing his last year with the Washington Nationals, the only professional organization he has known. But news of the passing of Kimberly Knorr, wife of Nationals bench coach Randy Knorr, on Tuesday extended far deeper...

David Huzzard: Another possible reunion to consider

David Huzzard: Another possible reunion to consider
With the addition of David Carpenter, the return of Casey Janssen from the disabled list and Tanner Roark transferring out of the rotation, the Nationals bullpen might have found some stability. An upgrade would still be a good idea, but it isn't of the urgency that it seemed just a couple weeks ago. On the other hand, the Nationals bench is still depleted due to injuries to starting position players. Danny Espinosa, Clint Robinson, Michael Taylor, and Tyler Moore are now needed for...

Zach Wilt: Have the O's replaced Markakis' production?

Zach Wilt: Have the O's replaced Markakis' production?
It took 71 games, but I can now comfortably say that the Orioles have effectively replaced Nick Markakis' production from last season. Markakis was a lot of things to the Orioles in 2014. He was a Gold Glove corner outfielder, a table-setter atop the lineup and, of course, a clubhouse leader who provided a veteran presence on a team that advanced to the American League Championship Series. That's a lot to replace; no one player could fill those shoes. Defensive metrics were never a fan of...

Nats win 2-1 in 11th on Desmond's sacrifice fly scoring Harper
The Braves have base hits in five of seven innings against Nationals starter Jordan Zimmermann, but nothing to show for them. Zimmermann has thrown 76 pitches through seven scoreless frames with no walks and two strikeouts. Anthony Rendon gave the Nationals their only baserunner against Braves starter Shelby Miller on a single in the fourth. Otherwise, Miller has completely shut down the Nats with four strikeouts through six innings. Ian Desmond committed his 16th error of the season on a...

Williams makes All-Star case for Escobar; light practice for Zimmerman
After sitting out last night and missing two of the last four games, shortstop Ian Desmond returns to the lineup as the Nationals look to claim their second straight series win tonight. "I just wanted to give him a rest and let him clear out and get back at it," Nationals manager Matt Williams said. "So he did a lot of work in the cage yesterday. He did all the defensive drills early that we did yesterday. So he's ready to go. Back in there." Desmond, who owns hitting streaks of 10 and 13...

Strasburg comfortable and in command in Nats' 3-1 win
Stephen Strasburg returned to the mound to throw five scoreless innings as the Nationals beat the Braves 3-1 in the series opener. Strasburg, who was activated from the 15-day disabled list late Tuesday afternoon, was aggressive with his fastball all night, striking out six on high heaters while scattering four hits with one walk. "I wanted to go out there and just execute pitches and just pitch my game," Strasburg said. "I think that's something that talking to a lot of guys in the...

Five scoreless from Strasburg helps Nats to 3-1 win
After a 2 hour and 12 minute rain delay, Stephen Strasburg finally took the mound for his much awaited first start after returning from the 15-day disabled list earlier today. Braves second baseman Jace Peterson greeted Strasburg with a shot to straightaway center that Denard Span was able to run down on the warning track. Strasburg then struck out center fielder Cameron Maybin on a 97 mph heater. Right fielder Nick Markakis followed with a base knock up the middle before Strasburg got A.J...

Nats choose to send Joe Ross back to minors instead of bullpen (game started)
The Nationals chose to option right-handed rookie Joe Ross to Triple-A Syracuse to make room for Stephen Strasburg's return from the 15-day disabled list this afternoon. Nationals manager Matt Williams said Ross "seriously opened eyes" during his first stint in the big leagues. The 22-year-old Ross made the jump from Double-A Harrisburg for his major league debut on June 6 at Nationals Park. He allowed three runs on six hits with four strikeouts and no walks in five innings. In fact, Ross...

Which Stephen Strasburg will return to the mound tonight? (game started)

Which Stephen Strasburg will return to the mound tonight? (game started)
The Washington Nationals welcome a healthy Stephen Strasburg back to the mound tonight in the series opener against the Atlanta Braves. It's Strasburg's first start in the majors since May 29 when he lasted only 16 pitches after experiencing neck tightness following the first inning. The next day Strasburg landed on the 15-day disabled list with a strained left trapezius muscle, but the 26-year-old said later that those muscle spasms subsided rather quickly and he was able to resume throwing...
